My mistake. I'm surprised Krillin wasn't a popular release, he's the next figure I plan on purchasing. Don't wait too long. I had to pull the trigger and get him right away because Amazon seems to go either up or down on having him. I actually just got Krillin a month ago, cost me $37 free shipping from amazon.

I'll probably be picking up Krillin some time this next week. I wanna get him with Amazon Prime if possible.

This line is just ridiculous when it comes to prices. I don't mind the prices I've had to pay but I wish I was with this line from the beginning. I would have had multiples of a lot of characters...but probably no display room anymore, ha.

I had the chance to buy a Vegeta and didn't get to the shop in time, someone else scooped him up. Sucked! That's why I just jumped on an Android 18 figure. I'll probably be picking up Krillin some time this next week. I wanna get him with Amazon Prime if possible. I think with the announcement of Android 16, people started buying her like crazy. I think so too. If they just released Android 18 with no 16 or 17 announced then sales would have been slow. I personally wouldn't be able to just own one Android.. the set is what makes it.

Vegeta seems to very well be the highest demanded character at this moment. I feel Tamashii is shooting themselves in the foot by not re-releasing Super Saiyan Vegeta but DaTong seems pretty freaking happy to take all of those sales. Yeah, definitely. The Androids are going to be the most completed group in this line.

littlegreen Yeah, he calls him a retard. I think he calls him it twice, and then Super Boo yells like...he's tapped in the head, "You called me a retard?" twice. I think it's pretty funny that he needs Piccolo's brain to be smart! What does that say for the gods he absorbed? angelo2113 Well my favorite look for Trunks is his Bojack/Broly tank top look, but I would really want his Saiyan armor to complete the Cell Games. It's also the outfit during the Semi-Perfect Cell fight, where he had an even more interesting dynamic with his father! Plus the epilogue episode where he kills Imperfect Cell in the Future! I really want them both! It really depends on the day, so right now I'll go with his Tank Top look, so I can display him taking out the Androids, and he'd make a good solo display! They're both awesome, so either way! No, I'm really disappointed in Cell, but I bought it because it's better than nothing. I would buy a re-make of Perfect Cell in a heartbeat! He's WAY too skinny and bug eyed! I wish he was taller, but those two things are what really bug me. I'd actually be fine villain-wise if I just got multiple Cells, since he's a time traveler, multiple characters at one point work! Plus every form lends itself to every display, since he can match power levels and can go back in time. It's an unpopular opinion, but that's what makes me, me! I think Ginyu is a good choice to test the waters for the Ginyu Force and opening up to the Freeza saga. If he sells really well, then BAM, otherwise, at least we get him! I think Bardock would probably be the best lead in for a lot of people. Then if he sells well, then first form Freeza, and then Ginyu. I really like the older, future, Trunks. He's very rarely seen like that but such a bada**. Yeah, he definitely needs one in his Saiyan armor. Have you thought about getting the Datong Vegeta and Jacksdo bootleg versions? I've seen some pictures of him put together and he looks pretty cool. I know, any version of him would be awesome. I paid an arm and a leg for the S.H. Figuarts Trunks but I absolutely love it. So many options and accessories. That's understandable. I wish I bought two of him but I only have one of him and I plan on displaying him getting destroyed by Super Saiyan Gohan 2. It's my favorite part in the anime. The other stages/forms of him would be awesome to have. Especially with the tail being articulated similar to Frieza. That's not unpopular, that would be awesome. It's different and I think that's what this line will need in the future. Especially for collectors and their displays. Captain Ginyu is the most want from me in terms of the Ginyu Force. Exactly! If he sells well and Tamashii wants to explore the others that would be great but just as long as we have Captain Ginyu, I'll be satisfied! Bardock is also a most want fro me. Having him, Goku, and Raditz together would be an awesome display!

Apparently theres all this bullsh*t about how Vegeta was released as a Web Exclusive and reissuing him takes away from the exclusiveness blah blah blah and the Japanese (again, apparently) take their exclusive stuff very serious? That what I've been told at least

He was my favorite 'form' of the character I'm honestly hoping Tamashii decides to release one movie character a year. There's a lot of characters/versions that I could see sell well, including Future Gohan.

That what I've been told at least Yeah, any Web Exclusive will not be re-released unless it's an anime repaint to be an SDCC Exclusive. I understand the "importance" of the exclusive but when they have such a huge demand from their fan base it's upsetting. They can come out with a normal Vegeta in the Saiyan armor and then a Super Saiyan Vegeta in the World Tournament uniform and the original Super Saiyan Vegeta would still be considered "exclusive." Those who want to have a Super Saiyan Vegeta in Saiyan armor would have to buy an extra of both. (Which I would do, to be honest, and then some. Ha.)

I don't mind them not re-releasing figures that were supposed to be exclusive. Imagine buying something with part of the motivation being that you want a rare and exclusive figure, then it's re-released and thus drops the value of your figure. Not very cool. I say just work hard, sell a few pieces of your collection you don't want and buy the figure. It likely won't drop in value and at best will increase in value.

That would be hard to imagine since none of my motivation to buy this line of figures is that I want a rare and exclusive figure. Save that strictly for the SDCC release. Part of my motivation to buy is because of the extremely high quality of the figures. There's both sides to the argument that are understandable.

I do not have $300 to blow on a figure. Especially a 6" one haha.

I've never been one to care about exclusivity. They could make enough for the entire population to have 10 of them, and I 'd still be happy.
